Who Doesn’t Love Fair Food?

Deep fried Oreos are one of those Texas State Fair foods that you can make at home if you start craving before the fair is even on the horizon. Just about now, the first of summer, I start thinking about all the food at the Fair in September. Sometimes I think about it way too much.

These are not in any way, shape, or form anything that could be called healthy. They are grease and sugar held together with cholesterol and calories.

It’s one of those things you have to eat just as they come out of the fryer, though. You can’t save them for later.

Fried Oreo FAQs

Here are some answers to some of the most common questions I get about these Oreos. As far as health concerns – it’s my opinion that foods like this are meant to be a treat not a daily part of your diet. Find out more about frying in this Harvard Study.

Tips for Deep Fried Oreos

This fried Oreos recipe could not be easier, y’all… but here are a few tips to ensure your complete success!

• I use peanut oil because it fries cleaner than most other oils and makes things light and crispy. If you have peanut allergies to deal with then any light vegetable oil is fine.
• Be sure to clean your fryer and replace the oil often. Rancid oil will make your fried foods taste gross.
• Try all of the Oreo variations to see which are your favorite. I’m a classic gal, myself.
• Use powdered sugar instead of sugar crystals to dust them after they’re fried if you like.
• Keep small kids and pets out of the kitchen while you are frying – the hot oil can really injure you, your kiddo, or your pet if you stumble over someone in a crowded space.
• Beware… knowing how to make these means that you’ll be harassed constantly by family and friends to serve them at every movie night and pool party!

If you are going to make these I’d suggest making them in small batches unless you are entertaining and you have a ton of people. It’s a fun recipe but the cookies are rich and you really can’t eat all that many.

People have been making deep fried foods in a pot on the stove for centuries but personally I prefer an electric deep fryer. It holds the temperature steadier and I am always aware of sudden drops or spikes in the temperature of the oil. This is the one I use –
